Point taken. The statement "The moon has never been viewed as made of green cheese" would be incorrect because there are deluded idiots who think it is. Similarly, there are deluded idiots who think a tax on wages is a capitation or poll tax.
I should have said that no American court has ever held a tax on wages to be a capitation or poll tax, and since under our legal system the courts, and not deluded idiots, are the arbiters of the meaning of the Constitution (subject to being overturned by the people via the amendment process), the courts' opinions are what count.
